(In Function 3 after 3 questions He said u r not prepared well, Tensed at that time After safety questions he become normal said that ur safety knowledge is good)

Funcion 5:1)In What Way Insulation resistance Can be low2)Transformer Principle?3)step up can be done by transformer or not?4)Where onboard step up voltage is there5)Zener Diode and function in AVR6)Difference Between Thyristor and Themistor7)Wat is SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), How it Works?8)OCR (I didn't know the full form) He itself said Over Current Relay Wat is the Function and he asked I explained It9)Reverse Power Relay ? Why reverse Current Relay is Not There, Reverse power Relay Is provided10)Wat is Auto Transformer Starter? Where It is used onboard ship

(In Function 5 After These Question He said Ur electrical Knowledge is Excellent.. He is happy About function 5)

Function 6:1) Wat Type of generator U have Onboard2) In that Wat Are the checks U make after Connecting Rod Removal3) Wat is Serration In connecting Rod, Why It is there4) After Removing connecting Rod Bolt Wat all the checks U will Do inBOLT5) Wat Are all the Welding Defects? I said Don't Know sir6) Before Entering Enclosed Space Wat U will DoFor This Answer I have Said In Different manner.. Not in Kunjal Shah.. (First of all I will Fill up my Enclosed Space entry Check list..In My Company under checklist 6 Sections Will Be there , I Have Told only that Names of 6 Sections.. He stopped me and which company u are (UNIVAN) sir .. appreciated me good check list made by company and Answer also U have to say like this only)

At Last He Said I am Satisfied with Function 5 and Function 6.. After That He said , Sure u will clear the remaining paper also in the next time..

Result:one By one Went to Chowdary sir room , Atlast he Asked me :Wat is ur NameWat is ur Indos NoWat Are all The functions U have applied

I am passing U Function 5 (Electrical)..

Thank God (Masha Allah).......

SUGGESTION:Some of Our Friends are washed out Yesterday, They have Satisfied the external. But They Have not attempted the all functions in the orals .. They are giving separately like Out of 4 giving only Function 3 and 5 in Second attempt. Chowdary is angry about not giving all functions.. So HE didn't give paper for those people.. Friends Be Careful about This...

Function 3 Which ship? What is shear strake ? Why more strength for it? What stresses it is undergoing? What is torsion box ? Where it is placed? Wat stresses it prevents? How to fight container fire? What is lcg? Significance? Types of annexes ..and name it .. Ows working?

How does it sense the 15 ppm ?How do u find its co 2 alarm wen working on tank tops?

Function 6 :What major overhauls u did in ur ship? How do u change the fuel pump timing? What is the pr of the pump? Pr at injector opens? Why too much difference? Types of driving mechanisms? Why v belt is used?How do u order a new v belt?

Result : function 3

P.S : A kind note for all the candidates and freshers especially ... if u go for orals , pls post ur questions in facebook .. that's gonna help a lot of people .. pls pls post ur questions ... dont bother about ur results ... pls post !!!
